Default Party's Statement to Affiliates...

When I first read this, I think I misread it. I originally thought they were saying that they were going to continue to let U.S. players pay, but wouldn't pay me for their play, effective immediately. After rereading it, I don't think that's the case. I think they will pay me for players I have on the percentage plan (all of them), and just not the "Per Sign Up plan" ones. In other words, don't expect to see another "Free $50 Party Poker account" offer any time soon.

What I find especially annoying though is how they specifically say that "There are no new restrictions that prevent Affiliates based in the US from promoting PartyGaming brands to non-US players," when, with all the interpretations of the law that I have read, it's the affiliates who are going to be even MORE affected than the poker sites! I live in the U.S. and it's about to be illegal for me to link to Party Poker - I thought that was clear in the bill. What's unclear was the legality of Party "Accepting wagers" (since that's not how poker works - they aren't accepting any bets). I think their response is backwards, and it really, really, annoys me how they are handling this.

Quite frankly, I hope they go down in flames by the end of the year. More power to Poker Stars and and other offshore site that continues to operate.

All I know is if I was Full Tilt Poker I would be offering the world to get players to sign up about now, no time like the present.

I already think they are a better site than Party, just not enough play, get people over there and Party will be no loss to the US players.

There is plenty of play, and there is about to be plenty more.

I would be a bit worried if I was one of the main pros tied to Full Tilt, since they are all U.S. citizens (or at least come into the U.S. frequently). They are probably going to need to change their advertising campaigns pretty significantly.

I think they'll make .net a separate entity (if it isn't already) and then have these guys only endorse the .net site.

Dude, Full Tilt limit cash games have always sucked and will most likely continue to suck with a huge migration of TAGs from a certain poker forum that = 4.

Really? I've never had problems finding fish when I've looked. I mean, it's no Party Poker, but then again, Party Poker is about to not be Party Poker either.
